Live Update Bugs 09/20/17

“Seems all the AA lines that has been Down to fewer ranks, there has been no refund of those aa bought.

Should there not be refund for all those ?

Example summon companion, before it was going to rank 22, now it goes to rank 4, which is HoT expansion, which Means it is automatically given in autogrant. But people have spend on those ranks.”

Is there any chance this can be addressed? FTP accounts that were previously subbed and already had these AAs are now left with no way to get the AA back unless they sub again. I know you want subs but this isn't a nice way to go about it.

“When I open the new research table in POK, I get a message saying Your class cannot do tradeskills in this container. I am a warrior. I did not try any combines, but I have no favorite recipes either.”

Oops. That container never got set to all classes when containers were consolidated from separate archetype containers. I'll get it fixed for next patch (It's a full server down fix.)
As for the other suggestions around this. Remember, this is a bug report thread, please keep it to bugs.

A few new (expensive) items appeared on the fletching vendor in PoK (Fletcher Lenvale). I checked, and there are comparable items on the other "new-ish" consolidated PoK vendors by the small bank for the various tradeskills. I won't list them all, but here are the fletching items for reference:

High Impact Lacquer

High Tensile Lacquer

Wood Stain Samples

I don't know that it is a bug, but on the off-chance these were pushed live early, I figured I would post about them. I remember the great beta vendor roll-back too well.

That error should instead be reading, "The server is busy processing requests, please try again in a few minutes." but unfortunately the messaging change did not make it to live.

As a side note: This error should be less frequent after the update this week and will be made better again after the next update. We are continuing making improvements to the system for AB and all worlds to reduce many of the long processing times that have resulted in this happening.

I'm incredibly tired after a long drive back to Florida, so it's very possible that I'm just brain dead and stupid right now, but I think something weird is happening with mod displays on non-visible Bard armor.

I take a Glowing Struck Quartzite and put it into my Kar'Zok Claw Talisman, for example, and I gain the +14 kick skill in the stats tab (and the kick skill damage increases accordingly), but the actual skill in the list of mods on the item description doesn't update to include kick. The window refreshes just like it does when you insert any other augment, but when it's done refreshing it doesn't actually change anything.

This is happening with the Greater Struck Quartzite in my Coin of the Ancient Empires, the Major Struck Quartzite in my Emblazoned Belt of Boromas, the Lesser Struck Quartzite into my Metero's Mantle, and the Minor Struck Quartzite into my Steel, Prince's Guard. Oddly enough, it updates my Velazul's Loremaster Breastplate to include the additional +25 kick when I aug it with the converted Relife Adornment, but that could be because the breastplate already had +13 kick on it already.

EDIT: I am using the Default UI, too, just in case that was a question.

Also, was it really intended to drop the damage down on the maximum rank of Selo's Kick? I mean I get that there's now a Kick skill that it's paired with, but... really? Afraid we were going to be out-parsing geriatric, half-crippled Druid pets or something?

Those augments have always behaved that way (bash, kick, etc.). If there is already a kick mod on the armor (which I don't think exists for bards yet?), the display will show the increase. If there is not already a line for the kick mod, you won't see it appear on the armor itself . . . just on the stats page.

“The patch notes are often not very clear and I haven't checked, but do the new 1/1 ranks offer the same effects/powers as an old 10/10 rank AA? If so, then they were "consolidated" and don't necessitate a refund. Or, maybe they just forgot to give the refunds...”

In the case of Summon Companion, it's about having to buy lvls 2, 3, 4 again. At least the AAs needed to buy these again should be refunded.

On TLP server Agnarr (at least), since the patch, frog foragers and hunters spawn rate in Traks Teeth is WAY down. Before the patch there were too many; you could barely get a single pull (talking like 10 of them racing each other near the swamp or EJ zone lines.) Now there's 1-2 up in the whole zone.
